Re: 2006 LODI Reimbursements
We have been told by the Office of Payroll Administration ("OPA") that
FICA taxes should not have been withheld from police officers'
checks in calendar year 2006 during periods of authorized Line
of Duty Leave.According to OPA, FICA overpayments will be
paid to affected officers in the March 23rd payroll and will be
added to their net pay.
We were also told that the W-2 forms received
by affected officers in or about January 2007 reflect the correct
amount of FICA withholdings, not the amounts reflected on their
year end.
If you should have any questions, please call the
OPA at (212) 669-7166.
Fraternally,
Patrick J. Lynch
President
